The Jets are off to a good start with a good offseason FA & Draft., Players coming back from injury, and OTA’’s seem well attended.

Absolutely right, there is a lot of development that happens between years one and two, some of it is physical development but a lot of it is mental as well. As Salah has said during OTA's, most of the work going on right now is above the shoulders. Being in year two of the playbook, understanding concepts and schemes, trusting what they're seeing will allow them to play faster. The faster they play the better they'll be as it's not just physical speed but mental processing, very important for a lot of positions, none more so than QB.

Roster cuts are going to be interesting this year. Think we'll see a few surprises along the way.
